The Giants Win The Pennant!!!!!

This is the face of a happy GIANTS FAN!!!!!! This is the face of a fan who has waited a life time for her team to win the World Series. This is the face of a fan who has won a bet with fellow bicycle blogger, Doohickie, who was under the mistaken impression that San Francisco was going down!!

Not!!!

So keep your eyes open. Soon, very soon there will be a Texan in an SF t-shirt, pedaling the streets of Fort Worth, making sure all out there know that the World Champion baseball team is from MY city! San Francisco!!

My thanks to the Rangers for a great series! Gigantes!!!! We now return to our regularly scheduled bicycle blog.

The WS and the Pennant are indeed different. It was a reference to the very famous broadcast by Russ Hodges, The Shout Heard Around The World (1951)-

"There's a long drive... it's gonna be, I believe...THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field stands! The Giants win the pennant and they're goin' crazy, they're goin' crazy! HEEEY-OH!!!'' "
